MRSS responders specialize in behavioral health crises. By focusing on offering crisis counseling and emotional de-escalation, not punishment, MRSS responders help avoid ER visits and police involvement. Help us spread the word! Anyone in Ohio can now call 988 and ask for MRSS.

MRSS ensures that no family has to deal with a mental health crisis alone. Responders calm the crisis and provide prevention resources and skill-building so that youth and their parents have the support they need.
